CI 4.2 - iRedds - 12-25-2021
According to PR, in CI 4.2 the minimum version will be php-7.4
At the moment php-7.4 is no longer supported and only security fixes will be released throughout the year.
Considering the speed of releases (builds), then 4.2, at best, should be expected in the spring or summer.
Why not php-8 and CI 5? It will be actively supported for another year + a year for security fixes.

After releasing 4.1.6, the next version would be 4.2.0.
PHP 7.4 is still not end of life. Dropping it seems to be too earlier.

If you focus on previous releases, then 4.1.6 will be released in January/February. So 4.2 is spring or summer.
As I said above.
Active support ended. That is, no bug fixes. Yes, 7.4 does not disappear anywhere. But the same can be said about version 5.1.
The current version of the framework is compatible with 7.4 and 8.0. Maybe leave it as it is?
Using php-8 as the minimum version, the framework can catch up a bit with its competitors using not only compatibility, but also language features.
RE: CI 4.2 - kenjis - 12-26-2021
4.1.6 will come soon.
You seem to be focusing on active support, but I don't care about it. Security support is the most important thing.
So it is not the same PHP 5.1 and 7.4.

I understand your point.
Symfony 6 requires PHP 8.0.2.
And Symfony now maintains 4.4, 5.3, 5.4, 6.0.
https://symfony.com/releases
Symfony 4.4 requires PHP 7.1.
CI4 only maintains one version.
RE: CI 4.2 - yahyaerturan - 12-26-2021
Agreed with kenjis. Now I am developing a large-scale CMF app with CI4. I gave very long speeches to convince board we can trust CI team. We need stability on release cycle. For all other concerns, we are okay with releasing LTS versions and little patches meanwhile. If CI would have an active developer/user base, we need stability.

How can I get the CI 4.2.0 development version. I need the oci8 oracle driver for my project.
RE: CI 4.2 - kilishan - 03-24-2022
4.2 hasn't been released yet, and no firm date on that. The OCI8 driver is in the current develop branch.
